The retina has multiple layers that process light and transmit visual signals. The outermost layer is the retinal pigment epithelium, followed inwardly by the layers of photoreceptors, bipolar and ganglion cells. The innermost layer is the nerve fiber layer containing ganglion cell axons. Specialized structures include the macula for high acuity vision and optic disc where ganglion cell axons exit as the optic nerve. Blood supply comes from the choroid circulated by the ciliary arteries. The retina converts light to electrical signals that travel through the optic nerve to the brain for visual processing.
1. The retina is the innermost layer of the eyeball and contains photoreceptor cells that convert light into neural signals. It develops from the inner and outer layers of the optic cup.
2. The retina contains three main regions - the optic disc, macula lutea, and peripheral retina. The macula contains the fovea centralis which has the highest concentration of cone photoreceptors and allows for high acuity vision.
3. The retina has 10 layers including the retinal pigment epithelium, layers of photoreceptor cells, and ganglion cell layer. The retinal pigment epithelium supports the function of the photoreceptors and forms the blood-retinal barrier.

The retina is the innermost layer of the eye that receives light and converts it into nerve impulses. It has three distinct regions - the optic disc, macula lutea, and peripheral retina. The retina contains 10 layers including the retinal pigmented epithelium, rods and cones, plexiform layers, and ganglion cell layer. It receives its blood supply from both the central retinal artery and choriocapillaris. The macula lutea contains the fovea which is the most light-sensitive region of the retina.
The retina is the innermost layer of the eye that contains photoreceptor cells and allows for vision. It has 10 layers including the pigment epithelium, rods and cones, bipolar and ganglion cell layers. The macula and optic disc are two important areas within the posterior pole of the retina. The macula contains the highest concentration of cones and is responsible for central high-acuity vision. The optic disc contains the optic nerve head where retinal ganglion cell axons exit the eye. The retina receives its blood supply from the central retinal artery and choroidal vessels.
The retina has 10 layers and contains photoreceptors that convert light into neural signals. The macula contains the highest density of cones and allows for sharp central vision. The fovea within the macula contains only cones laid out single file, allowing for the highest visual acuity. Photoreceptors synapse with bipolar and horizontal cells in the outer plexiform layer. The retinal pigment epithelium supports the photoreceptors and forms the blood-retina barrier.
The retina is the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. It contains 10 layers including the retinal pigment epithelium, rods and cones, bipolar and ganglion cells. The retina is thinnest near the center and thickens toward the periphery. Key structures include the optic disc, macula with fovea for sharp central vision, and ora serrata marking the edge. The retina contains over 120 million light receptors and ganglion cells whose axons converge at the optic disc to form the optic nerve.

This document provides details on the anatomy and layers of the retina. It discusses the following key points:
- The retina is a thin multilayered sheet of neural tissue lining the inner eye. It extends from the optic disc to the ora serrata.
- The retina contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones), bipolar cells, ganglion cells, Muller glial cells, blood vessels and more.
- The layers of the retina include the photoreceptor layer, outer and inner plexiform layers, ganglion cell layer, and inner limiting membrane.
- Specialized areas include the macula, fovea and optic disc. The fovea contains the highest concentration
The retina is a thin, multilayered sheet of neural tissue that lines the back interior of the eye. It contains several important structures including the optic disc, retinal blood vessels, and the area centralis containing the fovea and foveola. Microscopically, the retina consists of 10 layers including the retinal pigment epithelium, layers of photoreceptor cells, and ganglion cell layer. The retina converts light signals to neural signals which are transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve. It receives its blood supply from both the choroid and central retinal artery.
Vision begins when light is detected by photoreceptors in the retina. The optic nerve carries visual information from the retina to the optic chiasm, where some nerve fibers from each retina cross over. The optic tract then carries the fibers to the lateral geniculate nucleus. From there, the optic radiations transmit visual information to the primary visual cortex. Damage to the visual pathways at different points can result in distinct visual field defects.
This document provides an overview of the anatomy and structures of the human eye. It describes the dimensions and layers of the eyeball, including the outer fibrous layer (cornea and sclera), middle vascular layer (iris, ciliary body, and choroid), and inner neural layer (retina). It also discusses the anterior chamber, posterior chamber, lens, vitreous humour, blood supply, and nerve supply to the eye.
The optic nerve develops from the embryonic optic stalk. It contains axons of retinal ganglion cells that grow from the retina and reach the brain. The optic nerve has 4 parts - intraocular, intraorbital, intracanalicular, and intracranial. It is surrounded by meninges and carries the central retinal artery and vein. The optic nerve head contains the optic disc and optic cup visible on examination. The neuroretinal rim surrounds the cup and contains retinal nerve fibers. The arrangement of nerve fibers in the optic nerve and retina correlate with the peripheral visual field locations.
The retina is the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of the eye. It contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that convert light into electrical signals. These signals are transmitted through a multi-layered structure containing different cell types to the optic nerve. The inner layers receive blood supply from the central retinal artery, while the outer layers rely on diffusion from the choroid capillaries. The retina converts light into neural signals that are sent to the brain, allowing for vision.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

anatomyofretina2-200507105652and dev.pdf
1. Introduction
Retina, the innermost tunic of the eyeball.
It is a thin delicate & transparent membrane.
Its thickness:
◦ At the posterior pole in the peri-papillary region is approximately
0.56mm
◦ At the equator 0.18 to 0.2mm
◦ At the ora serrata approx. 0.1mm
It is the most highly developed tissue of the eye.
It appears purplish-red due to visual purple of the rods.
After death, the retina appears white opaque.
2. Gross Anatomy
Retina extends
from the optic
disc to the ora
serrata & has a
surface area of
about 266sq.mm
3. Gross Anatomy
Grossly on ophthalmoscopic examination it can
be divided into 3 distinct regions:
1) Optic disc
2) Macula lutea
3) Peripheral retina
4. Optic Disc
It is a pale pink, well-defined circular
area of about 1.5mm diameter.
“At the optic disc, all the retinal layers
terminate except the nerve fibre layer”,
which pass through the lamina cribrosa
to run into the optic nerve.
In comparison to the rest of retina, the
optic disc appears white d/t lamina
cribrosa and medullated nerve fibres
behind it & absence of vascular choroid.
5. Optic Disc
In the centre, where the nerve fibres are thinnest, the
white lamina shines more brightly.
The grey spot in the lamina are d/t to the non-
medullated nerve fibres reflecting less light than the
white connective tissue fibres.
The physiological cup of the optic disc is a depression
seen in it.The central retinal vessels emerge through
the centre of this cup.
Increase in the size of the cup & difference in the size of
cup of two eyes should be watched suspiciously to rule
out glaucoma.
6. Macula lutea
The macula lutea (yellow spot) is a
comparatively dark area 5.5mm in diameter,
situated at the posterior pole of the eyeball,
temporal to the optic disc.
Horizontally ellipsed area demarcated
approx. by the upper and lower arcuate &
temporal retinal vessels.
It corresponds to approx. 15 degree of the
visual field and that photopic vision and
colour vision are primarily functions of this
area.
7. Macula lutea
It consists of the following parts:
1) Fovea centralis (fovea)
2) Foveola
3) Umbo
4) Foveal avascular zone (FAS)
5) Parafoveal area
6) Perifoveal area
8. Fovea centralis / Fovea
Central depressed
part of the macula.
1.85mm in
diameter &
0.25mm in
thickness
It corresponds to 5
degree of visual
field & is most
sensitive part of the
retina.
9. Foveola
0.35mm in diameter.
Forms the central
floor of the fovea.
It is situated about 2
disc diameter (3mm)
away from the
temporal edge of the
optic disc & about
1mm below the
horizontal meridian.
10. Umbo
Tiny depression in
the center of the
foveola which
corresponds to the
ophthalmoscopically
visible foveolar
reflex, seen in most
normal eyes.
Loss of the foveolar
reflex may be an
early sign of
damage.
11. Foveal Avascular Zone
Located inside the fovea but outside the
foveola.
Its exact diameter is variable and its
location can be determined with
accuracy only by fluorescein
angiography.
12. Parafoveal Area
The parafovea is a
belt that measures
0.5 mm in width
and surrounds the
foveal margin.
13. Perifoveal Area
The perifovea
surrounds the
parafovea as a belt
that measures 1.5
mm wide
14. Peripheral Retina
It can be divided into 4 regions:
1) Near periphery
2) Mid periphery
3) Far periphery
4) Ora serrata
15. Peripheral Retina
Near periphery:
◦ Refers to circumscribed region of about
1.5mm around the macula.
Mid periphery:
◦ Occupies a 3mm wide zone around the near
periphery.
Far periphery:
◦ It extends from optic disc 9-10mm on the
temporal side & 16mm on the nasal side in
the horizontal meridian.
16. Peripheral Retina
Ora serrata:
◦ It is the serrated peripheral margin where
the retina ends & ciliary body starts.
◦ At the ora, the sensory retina is firmly
attached both to the vitreous & pigmented
epithelium.
◦ 2.1mm wide temporally & 0.7-0.8mm wide
nasally
◦ Its distance from the limbus is 6.0mm
nasally & 7.0mm temporally.
◦ It is located 6-8mm away from the equator
& 25mm from the optic nerve on the nasal
side.
17. Microscopic Structure Of The
Retina
Retina consist of three types of cells & their synapses
arranged in the following layers (from outwards to
inwards):
1) Retinal pigment epithelium
2) Layers of rods & cones
3) External limiting membrane
4) Outer nuclear layer
5) Outer molecular (plexiform) layer
6) Inner nuclear layer
7) Inner molecular (plexiform) layer
8) Ganglion cell layer
9) Nerve fiber layer
10) Internal limiting membrane
18.
19. Retinal Pigment Epithelium
(RPE)
Outermost layer of retina.
Consist of a single layer of hexagonal-shaped
cells containing pigment.
The RPE cells shows fine mottling d/t unequal
pigmentation of the cell & this is responsible for
granular appearance of the fundus.
RPE is firmly adherent to the underlying
BRUCH’S MEMBRANE (basal lamina of the
choroid) & loosely attached to the layer of rods &
cones.
20. Retinal Pigment Epithelium
The potential space between RPE & the sensory
retina is c/d SUBRETINAL SPACE.
A separation of the RPE from the sensory retina
is c/d RETINAL DETACHMENT,& the fluid
between the two layers is c/d SUB RETINAL
FLUID (SRF)
Splitting of the retina at the level of the outer
plexiform layer is cld SENILE RETINOSCHISIS.
Splitting of the retina in the nerve fibre layer with
the development of nerve fibre layer break is c/d
JUVENILE RETINOSCHISIS.
21. Retinal Pigment Epithelium
Adjacent RPE cells are
connected to each other by
tight junctions (zonulae
occludens & zonulae
adherens) & constitute the
outer BLOOD-RETINAL
BARRIER.
The RPE cells at the fovea
are taller, thinner & contains
more & large granules than
elsewhere in the fundus,
thereby giving a dark colour
to this area.
The optical part of RPE is
formed by the microvilli which
project b/w the rods & cones
processes.
Apical surface of human retinal pigment
epithelium as seen through a scanning electron
microscope. Fine microvilli cover the surface and
reach up between the photoreceptor outer
segments (which have been peeled away in this
view).
22. Retinal Pigment Epithelium
Functions:
◦ Play important role in photoreceptor renewal &
recycling of vitamin-A
◦ Maintains integrity of subretinal space by forming outer
blood-retinal barrier & actively pumping ions & water
out of this.
◦ Transport of nutrients & metabolites.
◦ Provides mechanical support to the processes of
photoreceptors & maintenance of retinal adhesion.
◦ They manufacture pigments which presumably has an
optical function in absorbing scattered light.
◦ Synthesis of growth factors to modulate adjacent
structures.
◦ Phagocytosis and digestion of photoreceptor wastes.
◦ Electrical homeostasis.
◦ Regeneration and repair after injury or surgery.
23. Mechanism of serous detachment. When the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is normal, no serous
detachment occurs beyond a focal site of leakage. When the RPE is compromised by choroidal or RPE
disease that impairs outward fluid transport, a serous detachment forms until absorption across the
exposed RPE balances the inward leak.
24. Layer Of Rods & Cones
Rods contains a photosensitive substance visual
purple (rhodopsin ) & subserve the peripheral
vision (scotopic vision).
Cones responsible for highly discriminatory central
vision (photopic vision) & colour vision.
Rods are about 120 million & cones are about 6.5
million in number.
The highest density of cones is at fovea with an
average of 199000 cones/sqmm
The number of cones fall off rapidly outside the
fovea.
25. Layer Of Rods & Cones
Cones density is 40-45% greater on the nasal
than on the temporal aspect of the retina, &
slightly lower in the superior than the inferior
retina at the mid periphery.
Rods are absent at the fovea in an area of
0.35mm (Rod-free Zone) which corresponds to
1.25 degree of the visual field. They are
maximum below the optic disc (170,000/sq.mm)
& their number reduces towards the periphery.
The entire nasal retina has 20-25% more rods
than does temporal retina, & the superior retina
has 2% more than the inferior retina.
26. Structure Of The
Photoreceptor
Each photoreceptor consists of:
a) A cell body & nucleus (which lies in
the outer nuclear layer)
b) A cell process that extends into outer
plexiform layer
c) Inner & outer segment (which forms
the layer of rods & cones) .
27. The Rod Cell
40-60 micro meter long
Outer segment of the rod
is cylindrical, highly
refractile & contains visual
purple.
It is composed of
numerous lipid protein
lamellar discs stacked
one on the top of the
other & surrounded by a
cell membrane. The disc
contain 90% of the visual
pigment.
The number of discs
varies from 600-1000/rod.
Outer segment
28. The Rod Cell
The inner segment of
the rod is thicker than
the outer segment. It
consist of 2 regions:
1) Ellipsoid (the outer
portion) is adjacent to
the outer segment &
contains abundant
number of
mitochondria.
2) Myoid (the inner
portion) contains the
glycogen as well as
the usual organelles.
Inner segment
29. The Rod Cell
An outer rod fibre
arises from the inner
end of rod, which
passes through the
external limiting
membrane & swells
into a densely staining
nucleus - the rod
granule (which lies in
the outer nuclear
layer) & then
terminates as inner
rod fibre which at its
end has an end bulb
c/d the rod spherule
that is in contact with
the cone foot.
30. The Cone Cell
40-80 micro meter
long. Largest at the
fovea (80micro meter)
& shortest at the
periphery (40micro
meter).
The outer segment is
conical in shape,
much shorter than that
of rod & contains the
iodopsin.
There are about 1000-
1200 disc/cone.
31. The Cone Cell
The cone inner segment
& cilium are similar to the
rod structures, however
the cone ellipsoid is very
plump & contains a large
number of mitochondria.
Outer fibre is absent. A
stout cone inner fiber
runs from the nucleus
which at the end is
provided with lateral
processes c/d cone foot
or cone pedicle (which
lies in the outer plexiform
32. The Interphotoreceptor Matrix (IPM)
& Interphotorecepter Retinoid
Binding Protein (IRBP)
The IPM occupies the space between the
photoreceptor outer segments & the retinal
pigment epithelium.
It is a complex structure consisting of
proteins, glycoproteins, GAGs &
proteoglycans such as chondroitin sulphate.
The IPM has diverse range of functions,
including retinal attachment & adhesin
molecular trafficking, facilitation of
phagocytosis & probably photoreceptor outer
segment alignment.
33. The Interphotoreceptor Matrix
(IPM) & Interphotorecepter
Retinoid Binding Protein (IRBP)
IRBP accounts for 70% of the soluble protein in
the IPM.
IRBP is produced mainly by the cones.
FUNTIONS OF IRBP:
1) Transport of retinoid between the photoreceptor
& the retinal pigment epithelium.
2) Minimize fluctuations in retinoid availability .
3) Protect the plasma membrane from the
damaging effect of high retinoid concentration.
34. External Limiting Membrane
In low magnification, it appear as a
fenesterated membrane extending from
the ora serrata to the edge of the optic
disc; through which pass processes of
the rods & cones.
Actually it is formed by the junctions
(zonulae adherentes) between the cell
membrane of photoreceptors & Muller’s
cells ( & thus it is not a basement
membrane) .
35. Outer Nuclear Membrane
Formed by the nuclei of rods & cones.
Rod nuclei forms the bulk of this multilayered outer
nuclear layer except in the cone dominated foveal
region.
The number of rows of nuclei & thickness of this layer
varies from region to region are as follows:
Nasal to the disc: 8-9 layers of nuclei & 45 micro meter
thickness.
Temporal to disc: 4 rows of nuclei & 22 micro meter
thickness.
Foveal region: 10 rows of nuclei & 50 micro meter
thickness.
Rest of the retina except ora serrata: one row of cone
nuclei & 4 rows of rod nuclei with a thickness of 27 micro
meter.
36. Outer Plexiform Layer
This layer contains the synapses between the
rod spherule & cone pedicles with the
dendrites of the bipolar cells & processes of
the horizontal cells.
It marks the junction of the end organ of
vision & first order neurons in the retina.
It is thickest at the macula (51 micro meter) &
consist predominately of oblique fibers that
have deviated from the fovea & is also known
as HENLE’S LAYER.
37.
38. Inner Nuclear Layer
It is thinner as compared to the outer
nuclear layer.
This layer disappears at fovea & in the
rest of the retina consist of following:
a) Bipolar cells
b) Horizontal cells
c) Amacrine cells
d) The soma of the muller’s cells
e) Capillaries of the central retinal vessels
39. Bipolar Cells (Neurons)
These are the neurons of first order of vision. They are
connected to the rods & cones by their dendrites & to the
ganglion cells by their axons..
On the basis of morphology & synaptic relationship, nine
types of bipolar cells are seen under light microscopy:
1) Rod bipolar cell
2) Invaginating midget bipolar cells
3) Flat midget bipolar cells
4) Invaginating diffuse bipolar cells.
5) Flat diffuse bipolar cells.
6) On-centre blue cone bipolar cells.
7) Off – centre blue cone bipolar cells.
8) Giant bistratified bipolar cells.
9) Giant diffuse bipolar cells.
40. Horizontal Neurons
These are flat cells & they connect rods
& cones with bipolar cells. They are of
two types:
◦ The type A horizontal cells have seven
groups of dendrites, which have contact with
triad of seven cone pedicles & their single
axon has contact with distant cone triad.
◦ The type B horizontal cells dendrites have
contact with rod receptors only & their axons
with the distant rod cells.
41. Amacrine Cells
Situated within the innermost part of
inner nuclear layer.
They connect the axons of the bipolar
cells to the dendrites & soma of the
ganglion cells, thus they are similar in
function to the horizontal cells.
42. Muller’s Cell
Their nuclei & cell bodies lie within the inner
nuclear layer. Fibres from their outer ends extend
upto external limiting membrane & those from
their inner ends reach upto the internal limiting
membrane.
The muller’s cell provide structural support &
contribute to the metabolism of the sensory
retina.
Fibres from the Muller’s cell & cell membrane of
photoreceptors together constitute the external
limiiting membrane.
In outer & inner nuclear layer, Muller’s cell
provide reticulum around the cell somata.
In nerve fibre layer their processes interweave
with axons of ganglion cells.
Fibres of the Muller’s cell takes part in the
43. Other Glial Cells
In addition to Muller’s cell , the retina
contains other glial cells:
Astrocytes .
Microglia.
Oligodendrocytes.
The astrocytes are most abundant &
are located around the blood vessels.
44. Inner Plexiform Layer
It consists of
synapses between
the axon of bipolar
cells (first order
neuron), dendrites of
ganglion cells
(second order
neuron), & the
processes of
integrative amacrine
cells.
This layer is absent
at the foveola.
45. Ganglion Cell Layer
The cell bodies & the nuclei of the
ganglion cells lie in this layer.
It is absent at the foveola.
Ganglion cells have been variously
classified few classification are as follow:
1) W,X,& Y ganglion cells
2) P (P1 & P2 )& M GANGLION cells.
3) OFF-centre & ON- centre ganglion cells.
4) Monosynaptic & polysynaptic ganglion
cells.
46. Nerve Fibre Layer (Stratum
opticum)
It consists of the unmyelinated axons of
the ganglion cells which converge at the
optic nerve head , pass through lamina
cribrosa & become ensheathed by
myelin posterior to lamina.
This layer also contains:
◦ Centrifugal nerve fibres.
◦ Processes of Muller’s cell.
◦ Neuroglial cells.
◦ Retinal vessels.
47. Features Of Nerve Fibres
Non-myelinated.
Thickness 0.5 to 2 micro meter.
Cytoplasm of the axons contains
microtubules, fine fibrils, mitochondria,
& occasional vesicles.
48. Arrangement Of Nerve Fibres In
The Retina
Fibres from the nasal half
of the retina come directly
to the optic disc as
superior & inferior
radiating fibres (srf & irf ).
Fibres from the macular
region pass straight in the
temporal part of the disc
as papillomacular bundle
(pmb).
Fibres from the temporal
retina arch above & below
the macular &
papillomacular bundle as
superior & inferior arcuate
fibres (saf & iaf) with a
49. Arrangement OF Nerve Fibres
Of The Optic Nerve Head
Fibres from the peripheral part of retina lie
deep in the retina, but occupy the most
peripheral (superficial) part of the optic disc.
While the fibres originating closer to the optic
nerve head lie superficially in the retina &
occupy a more central (deep) portion of the
disc.
50. Thickness Of Nerve Fibre Layer
At The Disc
Thickness of the RNFL around the
different quadrants of the optic disc
margin progressively increases in the
follwing order:
Most temporal/lateral quadrant (thinnest).
Upper temporal & lower temporal
quadrant.
Most medial quadrant .
Upper nasal & lower nasal quadrant
(thickest)
51. Clinical Significance Of Distribution &
Thickness Of Nerve Fibres At The Optic
Disc Margin
Papilloedema appears first in the thickest
quadrant (upper nasal & lower nasal) &
last in the thinnest quadrant (most lateral ).
Arcuate nerve fibre which occupy the
superior temporal & inferior temporal
quadrant of optic nerve head are most
sensitive to glaucomatous damage.
Macular fibre are most resistant to
glaucomatous damage & explain the
retention of the central vision till end.
52. Internal Limiting Membrane
It consists of:
A PAS (+)ve true basement membrane
(unlike ELM) that forms the interface b/w
retina & vitreous.
Collagen fibrils.
Proteoglycans (mostly hyaluronic acid) of
the vitreous.
Plasma membrane of the muller cells &
other glial cells of the retina.
53. Blood Supply Of The Retina
ARTERIAL SUPPLY:
Outer 4 layers upto outer nuclear layer: from
choriocapillaris.
6 inner layers: from central retinal artery.
Outer plexiform layer gets its blood supply from the
central retinal artery & partly from the choriocapillaris
by diffusion.
Fovea is an avascular area & supplied by
choriocapillaris.
Macular region is supplied by superior & inferior
temporal branch of central retinal artery. Sometimes
cilioretinal artery supplies macula ( branch of ciliary
system). When present, it helps to retain the central
54. Blood Supply Of The Retina
Retinal vessels are end arteries, usually they do
not form anastomoses. So their occlusion
invariably results into ischemia of the supplied
part.
Usually normal retinal vessels do not cross
horizontal raphe. Collaterals across midline are a
common finding in retinal venous occlusive
diseases.
Vessels course in nerve fibre layer & ganglion
cell layer.
Retinal arteries after 1st branch contains only
endothelial cells & pericytes (1:1). No nerve
fibres are seen in adventitia of the retinal
55. Blood Supply Of The Retina
VENOUS DRAINAGE:
◦ Usually follows arterial supply. Retinal veins run
parallel to arteries, at places they cross each
other.
◦ At AV-crossings artery is present anterior to the
vein & they share a common adventitial coat. And
this is the reason why AV-crossing changes are seen
during hypertensive retinopathy.
◦ AV-crossings are the most common sites of
branch retinal vein occlusion.
◦ Central retinal vein drains into cavernous sinus so
any infection of eye can travel upto brain by this
route or vice versa.
